50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 44. Braveheart - William Wallace Pep Talks

YouTube - Wallace's Last Will and Testament to Brendan Gleeson's Hamish YouTube Battle of Stirling I'm already kind of cheating just six movies in by posting two different scenes. The truth is I walk around all day with the following in my head: "You know what happens if you don't take that chance Steve?" "Nothing" But the actual rousing moment of this entire movie (not counting the mace scene) is the Battle of Stirling. Wallace's Freedom speech is a goodie. I don't care how inaccurate this movie is from a historical perspective, or how much of a looney toon that Gibson has become, or always was. I think this movie is fantastic. I don't watch it as much now as when I was younger. We have more options now and 3 hours is a sizeable request. The bronze medal would have to go to Longshanks throwing his son's male lover out the window.

50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 45. War of the Worlds - Foghorn AlienTripodhorn

YouTube Link I highly dislike 90% of this movie. From the aliens with nothing interesting to do other than to go pew-pew, to the humans with nothing interesting to do other than run. The humans want to eat each other for a station wagon. Tom Cruise and his entire family are all annoying. The ending is awful, rushed and unearned. The 10% of the movie that I do like involves Tom’s character running from the tripods, or get taken by one. I love the foghorn sound the tripods make. The first introduction of the aliens has a mystery element as well as that haunting sound.

50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 46. Spawn - No More Clowning Around

YouTube Link No one outside of comic book fans probably remembers this movie. Spawn was popular in the early 90s and eventually got a live action movie, two months after the incredibly silly Batman & Robin and two months after the Spawn animated HBO cartoon show came this revenge tale and what it means to be a hero. Those of us that do remember it probably do for several reasons. They might remember the bad special effects, or at least some special effects that don't hold up to this day, and barely did even back 30 years ago in 1997. Malebolgia a stand in for the devil, was not much better than a picture someone made on Microsoft paint or something out of the Reboot tv show. The cape was mixed, at times it looked cool, other times it looked completely ridiculous. They might remember it for Martin Sheen, who had no business being in this movie. The strange plot, where you get to keep someone's soul if you kill them, but they have to kill you first, maybe or something like...

50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 47. Jurassic Park - Enter the Rexy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc_i5TKdmhs I've probably watched this scene hundreds of times. The tension starts slow, "Is that the power coming back on?". Small rumbling, moving water, missing goat, the claw, the eye, the flashlight. We had only saw about 4 dinos so far at this point in the movie and one was a baby and the other was sick. We did see a Velociraptor kill in the beginning, but now having met these characters and kids, this is a whole new terror. I think it's the peak of what of what Dr. Grant does in any of the 4/5 movies he is in. Probably peak for Malcolm as well, maybe even the cowardly bathroom lawyer. The automated car turns around after the power goes out and the storm comes. Ellie is gone, but so is the lawyer once he gets once good look at Roberta. So what was a dud passing through the first time around, ole Rexy showed herself once the cars decided to stop next to her joint.

50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 48. Scarface - Say Hello To My Little Friend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysVsMQGfzN4 I just re-watched this movie not too long ago. It took me three nights, though the film is broken up into two parts basically (pre and post montage and Frank’s death). The first part of the movie is vastly superior to the second as it’s more fun to root for the underdog Tony instead of the cracked out abuser. The only other scene I considered was the chainsaw scene though I really like the death of Frank. Neither is as rewatchable in a vacuum as the ending though. Michelle Pfeiffer’s first role. The movie wasn’t even filmed in Miami. It’s long at 170 minutes but the ending feels rushed. Tony’s betrayal of Sosa and his sister going crazy with the death of Manny leads to an epic showdown where he gets shot many times but not before he makes his mark and dies in a pool next to the World is Yours statue.

50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 49. Grease - Summer Nights

I've never been a big musical fan. I would go to live shows when I was younger and get bored during the singing parts. Something about this song in particular gets me though, maybe watching my sister do a dance number when we were little hits me in the nostalgia. The ending song - You're the One That I Want, would be an easy #2 for me, but this is the winner. I don't revisit it as much as an adult after liking it all this time but it comes in at 49. It's been parodied to hell, the Bill Clinton one especially lives with me all these years. I can't stand most of the rest of the movie which makes it an easy standout scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drdM5dOkOtM
